The Nissan Skyline R34 is illegal in the United States due to the D.O.T. emissions. The United States Made this car illegal because in Japan they don't put a governor on the car, so it will come off the floor and easily hit 200 mph while the governor will "shut down" most cars at around 130 to 140. Also I have heard that it takes around $10,000 to get it legalized in the United States. I hope this helped.

Yes the governor answer is completely incorrect. ZR1 corvettes run 215 from the dealership.. yes its the crash safety and you cant plug it into a OBD. Lived in Japan for 4 years and brought a R33 over.
